I ask this question in regards to the latest happenings with St Albert MP Brent Rathgeber. What's happened to the CPC? What's happened to our PM Stephen Harper? Brent tried to get a private members bill put through that would require those working at the CBC, a public company, payed for with tax dollars, to disclose how much it's publicly funded employees are making as which is done with other public jobs. It made sense to many people except those MPs that gutted the bill, those MPs who have built relationships with the lobbyists in favour of keeping that info quiet. Those MPs who campaigned on the CPC platform of "honest responsible transparent government".
What's happened to our PM who campaigned on a platform of public transparency, what's happened to the PM who continually told Canadians that the Liberal party couldn't be trusted with government for the same things that they themselves are now guilty of?
What's happened to the Conservative Party? Too often as of late we have seen a fundamental move away from it's conservative rooted base and its conservative rooted platform and continues to look more and more like the party lead by Jean Chrétien, or even worse. At least Jean Chrétien produced balanced budgets, yes he too had his scandals but anyone watching lately can clearly see that Stephen Harper is not guilt free in this area.
I think the CPC needs to sit down, wake up, and get its Conservative house in order and listen to Canadians who elected a CONSERVATIVE majority, not another Liberal party.
